zBar2

Version: 3.0.b4

by: ZeroFire [More]

__/ Notes \__
* New official site
* The author is a None-English-Speaker, please bear with me when I saying something

__/ Intro \__

* zBar is an ActionBar mod that allows you modify layout of action bars easily.
* Some automatic features will help you to handle so many " actions " of your own.

Why this ?

Maybe you want :: Pop up when I need :: Switch page automatically :: Lots of layouts :: Quick and Easy settings :: Low memory usage.

__/ Usage \__

Basics

* Move bar by dragging the tab, which is on top of the first button
* Left Click on tab will minimize bar, Right Click will summon the Option Window
* All the Features can be set in that tiny window
* Send message "/zbar" to open the option window if you can't find any tab.

You Should Konw

Free Style - when you layout buttons in free style, please hold "ctrl+alt+shift" fist, mouse enter button AFTER, if you see a box over the button then you can drag it or mouse wheel it. Enjoy!

Stick - If you drag the tab into any button, and Hold modifier keys at the same time, the bar will stick to that button. "Ctrl" will stick to Bottom, "Shift" stick to Right

Lite - Extra Bars Only - If you only want some extra buttons, then you should eable the mod "zBar2Lite", or if you don't know why no changes to default UI, you should disable the mod "zBar2Lite". Find it in addon control.

DISCLAIMER: I did not come up with this solution. If you want to thank someone go to http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/10867/ and thank Iloru. That said, here is what he said:

Here's what I did to fix my bars:

I turned on the option to display LUA errors and found that there was a problem with line 99 of zbarT.lua. It was a null reference, so if you replace button.showgrid > 0 with (button.showgrid ~=nil and button.showgrid > 0) it should solve your problem.

Hope this helps.

You can also go to the link above to read other comments on how to do the same thing.

Oboro A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Excellent Mod... but I have one request. I have a G-15 keyboard and have set up the 18 keys on the left to really odd keybindings like CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-F1 and so forth. This is fine BUT the keybinding text is too long for the key and just shows up as ... The same problem happens with the NUMPAD keybindings. I'd like to request the keybinding text be shortened in the following manner: CTRL - becomes 'C' SHIFT - becomes 'S' ALT - becomes 'A' NUMPAD - becomes 'NP' PAGEDOWN - becomes 'PDN' PAGEUP - becomes 'PUP' Thus, CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-F1 will show up as 'CSA-F1' Ultimately, however, I'd like to be able to over-ride the keybinding text with anything I like. That way, I could rename 'CSA-F1' to 'G1' which is the name of the key on my keyboard. Last but not least, the Stealth tab is not replacing the 'Main' tab when I stealth (I'm a Feral Druid). Am I setting something wrong on that? And one suggestion: A long time ago there were some add ons that were 'smart-type' related. So, I could assign a button to a 'Healing potion' and it would automatically set itself to the BEST healing potion I had in my bags. If I ran out of that one, it would find the NEXT BEST healing potion and so forth. Is this still possible?

Andantonius A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I seem to be having a strange problem. I installed Zbar2 and it worked great, for a while. Now, after a few days of using it, every single button on every single action bar (except the main action bar) seems to be linked as the first button in my main action bar. So like, Button 1, main bar = wand. Button 2, other bar = frostbolt. If I click button 2 it tries to use my wand, and if I try to assign another spell to button 2 it switches out button 1 for that spell. Any idea why this might be happening? Thanks! P.S. It would also be kinda handy if you added savable/loadable profiles to Zbar2.

Re: Movable buttons

I'll try to improve that. And before that i suggest you drag it slowly first, when the button start to move, you can drag it fast to anywhere.

Originally posted by Hark
As it stands the movable buttons are rather unusable atleast for me. No matter how I try to press alt + ctrl + shift and no matter which direction I decide to drag the button I will either a) not move them at all or b) get them attached to the mouse pointer, forcing me to /reload.

Could you instead of a complex keybinding make the buttons individually movable just by dragging them around? If this requires clearing the bar from actions for the time of moving I am (and likely also others) gladly willing to pay the price for the ease it would provide.

Otherwise a lovely addon that allows the needed customization with the buttons to add some personality to an UI.

Suggest reset: XP Bar, Cast Bar Call the Option window, select those two bar, click "Reset bar". Otherwise they won't have the new feature.(Change XP bar width, hide spell icon....)
